THE SHUNNING edit

THE SHUNNING

I hope to stay another day
or two or more
as far as the years allow
and when I'm gone
I wonder who will remember
my rhymes and metaphors.
I did leave a bit of myself
to see deep in my poetry
hard to find at times beyond
the occasional flaw...
but not enough to close the door.

I came to this place
with a heart, with a soul.
but few to none see me.
I step out of the shadows
to join the world
but soon fade into
myself again:
where I am safe from eyes
that pierce through to
the other side of me

this is powerful, and I, and I'm sure a lot of others, can relate to it.

I can relate to this, every person who writes gives of themselves. You can only keep doing what you do, and in your case doing it well. Regards Roscoe...
